The mileage is too high on that car for the price. Talk them down to $2000 and be ready to have a lot of repairs done in a year. That was the best Ford they built then, but that one has been used too much. If you have $4000 for a dependable car to take to college get a Corolla with less than 100k miles. You'll have it through to graduation.
